We chattered about this 2-bedroom duplex at 1221 N. Dearborn in the Gold Coast in July 2009. See our prior chatter and pictures here. It sold for under the 2003 purchase price but above the 2001 price. It had been upgraded with hardwood floors and marble baths. It also had a washer/dryer in the unit […]
For the second time this year, a South Loop new construction high rise is going to use an auction to sell remaining units. 1400 S. Michigan, or Michigan Avenue Tower II, expects to auction 40 out of the remaining 97 units available in the 257 unit building on November 15. This is a tactic that was used by the […]
This 4-bedroom home at 3037 N. Seminary in Lakeview looks more like a southern home than the north side of Chicago with its big front porch. This 1890s farmhouse has all the modern amenities while keeping its vintage pedigree intact. It has the original crown moldings but space pak cooling. Three out of the four […]
This 3-bedroom vintage unit at 2044 W. Farwell in West Rogers Park was built in 1920 but converted into condos in 2004. It has all the bells and whistles of modern living including central air, in-unit washer/dryer, a completely renovated kitchen with stainless steel appliances and a garage.

We’ve chattered often about authentic loft condos but never before have we chattered about a loft single family home like this one at 330 N. Ashland in the West Loop. Converted from a former industrial building, the building is now a 10,000 square foot single family home with exposed brick, beams and timber ceilings and […]
We chattered about this bank owned single family home at 2823 N. Racine in Lakeview back in July. It is still available and has now been reduced another $43,000. It is now listed for $238,200 under the 2003 purchase price. Anyone been in it? Jason Shapiro at Rising Realty LLC still has the listing. See […]
This 2-bedroom unit at 1313 N. Wood in Wicker Park has a vintage facade but the interior has been completely updated. With the wall for the second bedroom removed, the unit has an even larger open concept feel, such as you might find in a loft. (The listing says the wall can be replaced.) The kitchen […]
Just a month ago we chattered about this vintage East Lakeview greystone at 657 W. Roscoe that seemed to have it all except parking. See our prior chatter and pictures here. It went under contract shortly after our chatter and just closed for $25,000 under the 2002 purchase price. The 3-bedroom home had a renovated kitchen, central air and […]
We’ve chattered several times about the foreclosures and distressed sellers in 1620 S. Michigan in the South Loop. This 2-bedroom unit has been on the market for 9 months but the listing says you should “hurry” before it’s gone. This unit is also subject to lender’s approval and has been reduced by $70,000. It has […]
This 2-bedroom top floor unit at 3835 N. Greenview in Southport is listed as a short sale. It is apparently under contract (but I’ve been told it’s been under contract several prior times as well.) It is currently on the market for $108,000 under the 2005 purchase price. According to the listing, the unit also suffered […]
